Ralikstova
Union of Ralikstova, The Union, Ralikstova or officially the 'Union of United Ralikstovan Communists and Soviets' (UURCS) is a nation that emerged from what would have been the past-tsarist Russia and was founded by Leon Trotsky in 1918.
Trotsky who was a friend and follower of the Socialist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin established – instead of splitting parts with Lenin in their pre-war days (around 1903-1904) a general idea for a Communist nation of Russian origin that contradicted Lenin's Socialist method.
Following the events of the February Revolution in 1917 the Bolsheviks seize power in Russia and establish a provisional government for the time of the civil war. Trotsky who is named Leading Commissar General of the Red Army and Navy takes the chance to 'purge' the Socialist party of all opposing forces and personal enemies which prevents the later rise of Joseph Stalin and instead pushes Trotsky into power. By 1918 he founds the 'Union of United Ralikstovan Communists and Soviets' according to his ideas of a totalitarian Communist nation.
In 1920 Lenin suffers a serve lung-disease and eventually dies leaving Trotsky as the sole leader of the Union which is increasingly industrialised and modernised yet centrally governed by an autocratic single-party parliament. The Union annexes nearby nations such as the Ukraine, Belarus and even tries to take over Finland but fails its attempt in the Winter War of 1926.
Present-day Ralikstova is a totalitarian Communist nation with a vast agricultural economy and a huge amount of natural resources used by its growing industry. Much has been accomplished since the end of the monarchy and the free people of the Union cheer to the much more aspiring plans of their glorious leader(s).
Yet the autocratic government sees everyone involved with western culture in anyway as a possible thread and has build up a massive network of secret services and police in order to keep everything under the iron fist of the party.
Ralikstova's capital is Moskova (Moscow) and the officially spoken language is Russian.
The Union tries strongly to influence the Balkan Confederation by means of diplomacy, economy or threats and fiercely opposes the actions of the Nationalist powers of Europea, especially the Talyrian Empire.
